Skull Duggery – These Wicked Streets (9-8-1998)
September of 1998 was a crazy ass month for No Limit records. Master P for real dropped four CDs in like four weeks. What kind of shit that is? The second No Limit release of September 1998 was Skull Duggery’s These Wicked Streets. I couldn’t buy this CD because I was like 13 with no...

Snoop Dogg – Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told (8-4-1998)
Master P pulled off the free agent deal of the millennium when he was able to sign Snoop to the tank in early 1998. I remember being a teenager and thinking about how tight it was that not only athletes were being dealt to other teams but rappers too. At first I didn’t really think...

Kane and Abel were two of just a few No Limit artists who got to share in some of the early success of the tank as well have the chance to release two albums throughout the era. Their 1996 effort The 7 Sins featured one of the tanks coldest songs ever in the standout effort “Gangstafied.”...

Master P – MP Da Last Don (6-2-1998)
I know a lot of people probably are going to feel like this is corny but I think Master P is the best rapper that ever lived. There you go, I said it! Now don’t get it misconstrued, he’s a horrible lyricist but as a rapper / business man no one has ever done it...

Soulja Slim – Give It 2 ‘Em Raw (5-19-1998)
By the time May 1998 hit we all knew that No Limit was more than serious about this whole releasing multiple albums in a single month thing. Having released Fiend’s popular There’s One In Every Family just two weeks prior to Soulja Slim’s Give It 2 Em Raw made me kind of skeptical of what...

I Got The Hook Up Soundtrack (4-7-1998)
Sometimes we all sit back and reflect on the changes that take place within us over the years. Music to a large degree helps me to reflect on those changes. It’s hard for me to grasp the idea that it’s been over ten years since me, Mark, Marcus, and JT took that bike ride up...

Silkk The Shocker – Charge It 2 Da Game (2-17-1998)
Master P set both of his younger siblings up for much more success than either of them probably bargained for. From the amount of anticipation that Silkk The Shocker’s sophomore album received it may very well be assumed that he got the better end of the deal. Of course we all remember Silkk as the...

Young Bleed – My Balls & My Word (1-20-1998)
No Limit Record’s chart topping dominance during the late ‘90s is definitely nothing to sneeze at. It all started in 1995 when Tru’s “Bout It, Bout It” gave the entire nation a glimpse of what crunk would come to be. ’96 and ’97 turned out to be even more successful years for the tank, garnering...
